Kingsman puts it together for Walker double

Champion-elect trainer Mark Walker stretched his massive lead in the Singapore premiership by another two winners when he claimed the first two races on Singapore’s biggest raceday on Sunday.

The New Zealander, who does not saddle a runner in the Group 1 Dester Singapore Gold Cup, was still snaring his share of the limelight with a couple of winners on the undercard.

After She’s The One (Craig Grylls) stormed home late to claim the first race, the $38,000 Causeway Bay Stakes, a Kranji Stakes D Division 2 race over 1400m, newcomer Kingsman (Vlad Duric) doubled the dose for Walker in almost identical style – right at the eleventh hour.
